Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and in a large roasting pan, combine the Chex cereals, mixed nuts, pretzel sticks, and bagel chips, tossing them gently to ensure they are well mixed.
  2. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter, then stir in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika until thoroughly combined.
  3. Pour the butter mixture evenly over the cereal mixture in the roasting pan, stirring gently with a large spoon or spatula to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Baking
  1. Bake the Chex Mix for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even toasting and prevent burning.
  2. After baking, spread the Chex Mix onto paper towels to cool completely, allowing it to crisp up.
Storage
  1. Once cooled, store the Chex Mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, ensuring its freshness and crunch.
